There is no physical damage that can be visually seen on my product. Don't lose hope. Won't be disappointed.

Bass is good not too overpowering. Amazing for dance beats, bollywood and new age english pops.

All 3 times left earbud stops working after 6-12 months everytime depending on usage. If used for 30 min it starts hurting. It is really frustrating at this price.

The sound clarity is average. The item i received during bug billion sale is fake. The lfe sound handling is below par.

You can read my first review on bottom..After a negative experience i burned earphones with bass sweep and pink noise for straight 10 hours and after 2 days results were amazing...I thought burning was just a placebo effect. But i didn't listened for these 2 days of burning.. So it can't be placebo...Bass improved a lot (Not very booming but the beats and thumps are heavy drop)Sound stage is wide..And this one is loud so i may go deaf in a year :DGood luck everyone.. Don't lose hope.. Burn the earphone (not literally) for 12 hours and use it.. Won't be disappointed..//First of all delivery and packing was great.Product quality looks good and premium.Buds are ok giving good isolation.Problem is.. I had so much hope because of the reviews of BASS.Seriously?Even my oppo M31 gives good smooth Bass than this.Friend suggested me to run some burn tracks like pink noise for 5 to 6 hours and it will be better.I hope if that happens I'll edit review. So far after a day not impressed on bass. There are beats but Bass is not dum dum beats. Sony can produce a smooth bass but this doesn't have it.Pros -Cons*Loudest earphones and got good noise cancellation.(passive)*Have a hard thump bass (on beats this one rocks) but on low frequency bass really bad, there is hardly any low bass.*Nice mids good treble (many reviews said bass overpower mids and highs :/ ) don't believe it. Trust me i have been using so much headphones and earphones.so far i have 8 earpieces with me.* Sound stage is good not the best.*Works good with Dolby atmos.*Neodymium shows it's dominance with crysp sound but on high volume treble Pierce your eardrums.*Comfort is ok, Not saying bad because it have a 12mm drive so size will be big. (Expected)*build quality looks good (not on 3.5mm jack side, that looks like weak)So for me it's a bit disappointment, i thought this one got a good bass :(Now it's your turn to try. For a decent quality sound signature it's good. Extra bass is only on label so far.. I'll edit review if anything changes after proper burning (which some say is a myth) Read Less
